Yeah it sounds schizo. U sure u don't need help? shrug Also, why bring it up again? As always on the Org, to get attention. The people posting underneath u is for the most part people who're happy u brought it all back up so they could get some more. Judging by the number of replies, u also got your attention. There, now u can go again.

POOK said:


I want to apologize.

First, some background: TommyAlma was an internet identity created specifically for prince.org. Mostly, Tommy argued with soulpower and other Europeans in the P&R forum. Tommy was also MyLittlePill and lamiapillolapiccola, which roughly means "my little pill" in Italian. I have a problem with my temper sometimes, so after realizing that all I did on the org was get into fights, I decided to drop all anger and become the sweetest, cutest, most harmless little thing I could be - POOK. POOK posted in all caps and always in bold text. POOK spent all his time looking for his beloved froggybaby and taking naps. POOK made up songs. He grew to be one of the most popular posters on the org. I say "poster" rather than "character" because when I picked up the POOK mantle, the other logins became characters. So POOK was my new identity, not just a character.

When POOK posted about loving the org and the people on it, POOK meant it. POOK always meant what he said. When he made up the new lyrics to "Where The Streets Have No Name (aka WHERE THE POST HAVE NO FLAME)" for rdhull, he meant it. The problem was, and I didn't know it, but TommyAlma was just below the surface, ready to start a fight. This may sound schizophrenic to some, but after a year of posting like a monkey, you start to think that way, even off the org. Try it - try never breaking character for a year, even in orgnotes, except to a few people. It affects you. I don't think anyone else has ever done this to such an extent.

Some months back, I posted a large e-mail basically denouncing the org and its members. I'd quote it, but I'm sure someone will dig it up. You may not want to read it - it's pretty harsh. I named no names but due to the timing, it's obvious what the impetus was. Mostly, I posted about people's love lives and politics, and said some hurtful things.

I was wrong to criticize and judge everyone so harshly. I thought I was standing up for something but as someone who is nowhere near perfect himself, I was really being hypocritical and self-righteous. Even if I don't agree with your relationships and politics, it's not my place to tell you off like that. Even on the faceless, mostly anonymous internet, where feelings are still real.

Again, I was wrong and should never have even thought that, much less posted it. Please understand that I know this. I do not hate anyone based on sexual preference or politics and never have. I do not think I am better than anyone else because of the different lives we lead.

So I said POOK was no longer allowed back on, but in truth, he's lurked some. And I'm posting on this account because all the others are now gone. I'm not asking for POOK to come back, just for forgiveness. And if you still hate me, I understand.

I specifically want to apologize to ben because I started so much drama on this site he spends so much time on. I also want to apologize to Matt and TACKAM (doves, Mel!ssa). Cborgman, I'm sorry that I upset you so. Anxy, Gooey da Hooey, Organgrinder the Magnificent, I'm sorry that POOK let you down. Applekisses, mi dispiace. Shausler, Teller, Azurestar (TOOFUNKYBLUE), JediMaster, Dansa, Aannestasia, and all other orgers, old-school and new, I'm sorry. REDFEATHERS, you too. Karen and Tony, miss you guys.

I'm sorry.

-TommyAlma

Er...I used to like POOK´s posts. They were alternately funny and annoying but always interesting to read. But now that POOK has been so thoroughly, elaborately and dead-seriously "explained", the fun is gone. It´s sort of like if the first scene in a movie would explain the main characters whole agenda and personality and the writer´s intention behind making him/ her that way. After that, the rest of the movie wouldn´t be very interesting to watch...

POOK....come home, all is 4given.

I was given some good advice once: It's only ever a mistake if u dont learn from it...

Thing is, if POOK made me laugh that much (and NO-ONE else can hold a flame 2 POOK!)
then Im sure whereever that came from the humour there is just as valid and good.

Be yourself/be who u feel comfortable being...just come here and BE!

THE ORG IS A DULLER PLACE WITOUT U - I REALLY MISS U.


bow Nana!

POOK! You are very missed friend. I like yourself have been going through a growing spurt in life. Those that humble their pride and do the work are triumphant. It takes far more from the spirit of an individual to create then it does to tear down. If some took a moment to look in the window of their own eye they would find far less time for judgment and that their own journey would begin.

hug to you, froggy and the tad pole

Karen
